Is there some crazy ‘reason’ why this isn’t universal???

The only reason to vote in the other party’s primary is TO SCREW THEM UP!!!

Nveer understood why we allow liberaltarians and Dems to vote in our primaries. The we have them strating up north too where mostly those who would say moderates are more to the left than some Midwestern and southern Dems

Yup. Every single GOP primary should be closed. It’s a no brainer.

I would go beyond that and insist on caucuses. I like the idea of the truly interested being the ones who select the nominee.

Also, we have a problem with the blue states being winner take all, and many of the red states being proportional distribution of delegates.

IOW, the blue states have a larger voice in selecting the candidate than do the red states.

I really wish NH would make this change back. This same day registration is electing too many liberals/middle of the road candidates.

Something I have done often. Sometimes, I just want to send them a message.

Also, a runoff between top two if no candidate gets 50%+1 of the total vote by party.
